EG’15 – 1st International Academic Workshop on e-Governance

CANCELLED

Workshop Goals

This presentation-oriented workshop scientifically addresses e-governance that we define as the set of electronic means for achieving the goals of an organization by performers of interrelated roles with means of service-ecosystems. Electronic means are rules, policies and processes supported by information-system infrastructures that govern the actions of collaborating participants. A service refers to a set of related software functionalities that can be reused for different purposes, together with the policies that should control its usage. Organizations may be of private, public, or non-profit nature. Currently, organizations find themselves governed by centralized governance structures that are not aligned with the dynamically changing context within which these organizations operate. As a result, the quality of service is unsatisfactory, the services are too expensive to develop and maintain. Technological innovation may serve as a catalyst for improving such deficiencies. However, there is a lack of systematic approaches for developing and interrelating services of e- governance. In addition, the current technological state of the art offers “new opportunities” such as big data analysis, smart solutions in the Internet-of-Things, agent technologies, service-oriented cloud computing, novel business models and so on. Currently, they are underutilized for the improvement of e-governance.
